    The shower spout didn't work well - which we passed onto the staff.

    We loved our stay at Hostal Las Olas! The room and bed was very comfortable and absolutely beautiful. The view was fabulous and we enjoyed the jacuzzi and fireplace when it became cold. The staff were also quite helpful and kitchen handy to use. It was a great place to spend our time acclimatising to the altitude and base to explore the islands.

    Lack of fridge (perhaps this was in the common area, but we didn't check). We didn't necessarily need a fridge, it just meant we didn't purchase any such food or milk. It didn't ruin our stay though.

    The uniqueness of the buildings & surrounding grounds. Such an amazing & fun place. Felt special being there. Plus the alpacas roaming the grounds was incredible. Highly recommend!

    The option of breakfast would have been good but that is my only comment

    Such a wacky, fun hostel with amazing suites. We loved our 2 level suite with comfortable seating area downstairs and the bed upstairs. It was great to have our own kettle and cooking things in case we wanted a meal in. The staff were great!

    Location. The hotel's advantage is also its disadvantage. It's located on top of the hill with giant stairs leading up to it. The bus transfer dropped me off at the main square and I had to drag my suit case all the way to the base of the hostel, then had to bring it up the giant stairs. Given the altitude, it was not an easy task. In addition, the relentless afternoon sun made the whole arrival and departure experience really exausting.

    I think my experience to the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca would not have been complete without staying at the Las Olas. It was magnificent! My room had a glorious view of the lake - the best of all in surrounding area. Notwithstanding the enormous size of the room, everything was spotlessly clean. It had an amazing bathroom with hot shower, well-stocked kitchen with gas-powered oven (I could cook real meals if I wanted to), clean comfortable bed. The design of the room and hotel in general deserves recognition - it's very different and a lot of fun to explore. Friendly staff, held my suitcase after check-out.

    We spent two nights here - initially just booked one night but then stayed another night. They were very accommodating, allowing us to check into another room straight after check out from the first room. Both rooms were beautiful and clean with great views and comfortable beds. The hotel property itself is very pretty and only 10 mins walk from the centre. Would definitely recommend.

    The stairs in the "room" are extremely dangerous (there's even a note warning about this in the room), but we still fell a few times.

    We had a wonderful day at this hotel. The room and the view are fabulous. The staff are also super lovely! They know how difficult it is to get up and they give you support via Whatsapp, so you don't have to go up to reception every time. They also have games (uno, jenga) that you can pick up and play in the room, great fun! And the plus was the llamas and chickens in the garden!

    There were quite a lot of bugs (ants, spiders), especially in the jacuzzi. Not sure if there’s much you can do about that though!

    The room and facilities were incredible, great value! We loved the fireplace, jacuzzi and the view.

    Unbelievable hostel! It felt more like a luxury hotel in the suite. The unique architecture and incredible was well worth coming to Copacabana for. The staff go above and beyond. Especially when we had to return unexpectedly after we checked out. The manager showed us into the living room, turned on the heating and offered us hot drinks. The staff also carry your bags to your room! No meals provided but the kitchen equipment in each suite is very well equipped and the restaurant next door offers dinner.

    The bed sheets and duvet can use an update for sure. It feels like they haven't been changed since the 80s!

    What a nice treat between trips. It's only 8 minutes walk (uphill) from the center and the ferry port but far enough to get some peace and rest. The view is priceless and the architecture of the hotel is very special and unique, plus each suite has a different style. Inside the suite there are all basic necessities for kitchen use, hot water, and lots of heating options (including a fireplace in my case) for cold nights. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and very attentive, they accommodated all my needs so quickly and went above and beyond! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
